Eric Bailly: Chased away by Man United and Besiktas, Ivorian returns to Villarreal after 8 years
Ivorian defender Eric Bailly is back in Villarreal eight years after he left the club to play for Manchester United, Marseille and Besiktas.
What Ten Hag said
"We know that. We have to make our performances consistent and have to do better,” he started, per the BBC.
“A game is 90 minutes and we have to invest from the first minute on. We are hopeful that many players will be back in the new year and they will strengthen the team and the squad.
)
"We know the reasons why it is not working. No team can deal with so many issues and injuries we have had. We should still have done better and we have depth in the squad. When you have so many injuries, the depth is not enough."
Speaking specifically on their performance in the defeat to the Tricky Trees, he said, "First half performance was OK. We invested to do less in the final third. I think we should have created more.”
“The second half we had moments when we conceded goals. Then we come back in the game and I think the game was ours and we went for 2-1 and then we conceded. We had our moments but it was not good enough to win here."
Meanwhile, Barcelona are reportedly setting its sights on Manchester United loanee Mason Greenwood following his stellar performances at Getafe. The young forward's recent form in La Liga has drawn significant attention from the Catalan giants.
